Precious Tender Moment
Such a precious tender moment
and the comfort that you crave.
As I watched you kneeling there
pulling weeds beside her grave.
So long she was a part of you,
so long you were together.
I know that here without her
must feel just like forever.
Somewhere in my mind it seems
I had this moment planned.
You might say I came prepared
this camera in my hand.
Now forever I'll see the picture.
The one I never took.
Of a precious tender moment
no matter where I look.
Birds all chattered in the trees,
the sun shined in the skies.
Still it rained inside my heart
as tears fell from your eyes.
I hope you know you're not alone
in your missing her so badly.
Mother's gone for two years now
and I love you so much daddy.
Forever in our hearts and minds
is where she will always be.
And this precious tender moment
alone here, you and me.
Edwin C Hofert
Inspired by the true story of a friend of a friend. Who upon taking her father to visit his departed wife's grave site. She planned to take a picture. Only to find she could not bring herself to do it. As she watched still two years later still grieving her passing. God bless them both.
